Many a home
game argument has come about over which hand beats which, and
overall poker hand rankings in general. It’s remarkable
how many people are willing to risk their money in a game without
even really knowing the official poker rules. That’s why
the home game is so lucrative for some, I guess. If you’re
going to buy a nice set of clay poker chips, you’d better
at least know the rank of poker hands. Here’s a quick

Other
Considerations: No suit ranks higher than any other
suit in traditional poker. In community games, it is common

event, determine the winner by the rules above. In the event
that two players in a community game have the exact same hand,
kickers and all, split the pot.
